Mr Kelsone, ruined my life, he did.

I was on board flight EFK1234 when this happened.

It was a wonderful clear night and we were all excited as this was our first concorde flight. We boarded early and I commented about the lack of seats but the pilot said not to worry, and that all concordes were built this way.

We taxied out to the runway, and I noticed it was a bit windy, and my carry on baggage was getting heavy. It was also very noisy as a jumbo jet was right behind us waiting to take off.

Then it happened. A policeman with a loud speaker walked up and said those words I'll never forget "Ladies and Gentlemen please remain calm, you have boarded a concorde impersonator". Well I looked around and only then did it hit me - this wasn't a real concorde - I went berserk trying to get out the exit door. There were people screaming, running all directions into the night. The runway was a mess with bags and inflight magazines everywhere. I must have fainted and eventually woke up in hospital.

I have since started getting my life back together, and have attended the weekly meetings of the "Survivors of Impersonated Concordes" (SIC). It took a long time for me to accept it, but now I can say "I boarded a make believe plane" without too much difficulty.

I don't know if I will ever fly again, and mores the pity, it was such a beautiful looking plane.

regards

Mrs Nose

We here at the FAA take aircraft impersonation very seriously.

Regarding flight EFK1234, we are taking the following actions -
1. Investigation of the impersonated aircraft - serial #'s, origin, owning airline etc ..
2. Maintenance record, and interviewing maintenance personnel
3. Reviewing finance arrangements for this aircraft, eg leased or owned
4. Probability of actual departure, ie what was the likely hood that Edward would actually get airborne with 120 passengers before the end of the runway. We have a large department of engineers working on this.
5. Seating configuration - how many in first vs. economy class etc ..

The answer to these questions and more will be revealed in our final report.
